Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomKitchen equipment was extremely basic for 8 people staying for a week. No coffee making equipment for example. I phoned the Mount Stewart Hotel (key holders and management) who told me they only supply kettles!! I had to buy a simple coffee filter pot. I would expect a much better standard of kit. I told the reception when I returned the key and they were not interested... Unfinished builders/maintenance jobs. E.g. cupboard housing the hot water boiler in the kitchen and scruffy bits of skirting board. Only one hairdryer (fixed to a bedroom wall) for full house. Unfinished sauna in one bedroom!
The flat was spacious with comfortable beds, good linen and towels. Location v good. Abundant hot water.

United KingdomThere were a few things that were needed either fixed or replaced like the shower door had no seal, so the water was all over the floor. The fan didn't work, so bathroom smelt damp. The clothes dryer was broken so no place to dry towels. And there were no wardrobes upstairs, so there no place to hang clothes and only 3 coat hangers in the whole property. Just small things and easily remedied
The location was spectacular with fantastic views of the village and sea. It was comfortable and clean

United KingdomThe key to the apartment didn't work and we had to return to the hotel to be given a replacement to get in. First impressions of the apartment were disappointment that it felt un-loved and un-cared for. The build quality is obviously not great and the finishing was poor, with lots of jobs half-done - like the decking/balcony to the living room which has been left partway through staining and with joints that don't meet, and the strip between carpet and tiles in the kitchen that is downright dangerous with sharp bits of metal exposed. The extractor fans in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom are missing or not connected and the overhead fan in the kitchen only worked on the lowest speed. The french doors of the rear top-floor bedroom were so poorly fitting that a gale was blowing through the whole floor on a windy day. It also felt as if the bare minimum had been done in terms of furnishing and equipment. Only 2 outside chairs in an apartment that sleeps 6, cheap flimsy loo-seats, the only glasses were 5 (not 6!) branded pint glasses, the toaster didn't work, there were no pan lids and hardly any cooking utensils. There was no internet for the first two days. It felt neglected and uncared for.
Staff were super-responsive - handing over wine-glasses on the first day when I asked, and giving us a toaster a day or two later, and I appreciated how helpful she was when it felt like I was constantly phoning or turning up with another problem. The apartment was spotlessly clean when we arrived, and the beds were comfortable. It also was very spacious and had really good quality underlay to the carpet! The location is great - views over the sea and 7-8 minute walk across grassland and down the cliff steps to the harbour. Portpatrick is a lovely village and the harbour is beautiful with a beach to swim off.
